The group and McGregorโs security team eventually went to a penthouse suite in the Beacon Hotel in Dublin. She shared how the group were all drinking and laughing, before McGregor sat on the toilet and told her to โsuck on thatโ. The pair were eventually left alone in the bedroom, before McGregor attempted to kiss her and rub her face. However, she told McGregor that she comfortable, and also told him that she knew her partner Dee and her family. Despite the refusal and efforts to keep him away, he pinned her to the bed and kept pushing his weight down before eventually raping her violently.
Mr Gordon speaks out against the defendants
After laying the case and evidence, Mr Gordon told the court:
In the face of this, Mr McGregor will tell you that this was a consensual encounter, that they were just having fun and a bit of rough s*x. Thatโs his answer.โ
โฆ..What he is saying is that she gave him a licence to carry out what has to have been a brutal assault on her body.โ
Gordon cited the defenceโs claims that Nikita Ni Laimhin had several opportunities to complain but did not. He also cited how the defence claimed that Ni Laimhin was attempting to extort McGregor. Gordon further shared how his client was being called a โgold digger and a fraudโ.
However, he stated how his client was being brave:
Because she pursued her mission for vindication and compensation to which she is entitled. And for these defendants to breezily and cheekily dispose of her claim is something you will consider in due course.โ
Dr Daniel Keane presents his report and findings
Meanwhile, Dr Daniel Keane, who works as a gynaecologist and forensic examiner in s*xual assault cases also presented his report and findings. Dr Keane told the court he was working at the emergency department at the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin when Nikita Ni Laimhin came in by ambulance on December 10. He recollected how Nikita appeared โvery upsetโ, and visibly โshaking and cryingโ. He stated that they had to get her a blanket to sit on because of the pain she was experiencing.
Dr Keane shared in his report how Ni Laimhin told him that the alleged attacker chocked her and even stopped her from breathing. He shared her claims of how she did not fight McGregor anymore and thought he was going to kill her. Dr Keane also detailed the extensive bruising all over Ni Laimhinโs body, including her face, arms, fingers, forearms, knuckles, legs, lower back and her buttocks. She also suffered a gruesome 9cm scratch on her left bre*st.
Dr Keane also stated that Nikita Ni Laimhin was worried about a tampon she was wearing on the night of her assault. He explained how he had to use a pair of forceps to remove the tampon which got โwedged insideโ. He concluded that he has carried out hundreds of examinations on women in the past but the extent of Ni Laimhinโs bruising was โquite unusualโ.
